really? Noone uses YOuTube widgets in their blog sidebars and tried a Live Hangout? Becuase if you did, you would see this problem. This may force me to go tag all my videos with "MyUploads" and then switch to a sidebar widget like I use under ONE section of my blog to pull only videos with certain tags.
But this is a pretty big oversight, IMO, on Google's part, to basically "break" the RSS feeds by inserting unrecorder video placeholders inthe RSS feed and then failing to delete them when no recording is ever done (ie marking a hangout as "LIve enabled" will give it a metadata status that causes YOuTube to put an entry in the RSS feed. But it never shows up in the "Video Manager" until it actually turns into a recording (by Hangout creator pushing the "Start Broadcast" button. After ending it, the video gets created.
Bad for users of Blog sidebars using YouTube RSS. Boo, Google! |
